EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic battle scene from the Rameseum at Thebes, dating back to 1890. The relief depicts the infamous Battle of Kadesh, which took place in c1275 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. In this intense moment frozen in time, we witness the fallen Hittite army being charged by Ramesses II himself. The intricate engraving showcases the ancient Egyptian artistry and attention to detail, as every figure is meticulously depicted with bows and arrows or riding horse-drawn chariots. Amidst the chaos of carnage and death on the battlefield, Ramesses II stands tall as a symbol of strength and leadership. Located in Luxor's Theban necropolis, this memorial temple known as Rameseum serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history. The image evokes a sense of awe for both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Preserved through centuries, this monochrome illustration was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier in 1890. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient world where battles were fought with valor and honor. As we admire this remarkable piece of heritage, it reminds us that even though civilizations rise and fall over time like Ozymandias' empire, their stories continue to captivate our imagination.
